You can pay £20,000 to be a professional soccer player in England

Have you always dreamed of being a professional soccer player, but lack the necessary skill, athleticism, and experience? If you’ve got a spare £20,000 lying around ($30,662), you can become Macclesfield Town Football Club’s newest signing!

The cash-strapped Conference National side (the fifth tier of English soccer) is trying anything to stay above water and avoid shutting down the club entirely, and has a fundraising goal of £100,000. One method they plan to reach that goal is by offering any old schlub the opportunity to become a professional for a week, with the promise of playing at least 10 minutes in a league or cup game during the upcoming season.
